I agree with you, but for Dallas, a loss to Kansas City and a win at Washington would clinch the NFC East.

For the Cheifs, this game is it. If they lose, they won't go to the playoffs. For the Cowboys, they have to win at Washington, which will guarantee them a spot whether or not they win the division.

So, I definitely want the Cheifs to win. The Cowboys will still have to go out and win. It follows that simple philosophy: win and you're in.

Yep this weekend is a battle for all the wildcard spots, and Dallas needs one win this weekend to cinch a wildcard spot, since they stumbled a couple weeks ago and dropped to 2nd place in the NFC East. Assuming the Giants lost and the Cowboys won, then we'd have a race for the top spot in the NFC East.

Nope, if that is so, the Giants have the tie-breaker in Divisional games. NY 4-1, Dallas 3-2. The Giants would have to lose to the Deadskins next week while Dallas wins...
